End-to-end encrypted notes app
One year ago I started to explore combining CRDTs with end-to-end encryption to allow people to collaborate on the same documents/data. Couple months back I got a first prototype working. Think of a simple Google Docs, but end-to-end encrypted and offline-first (iOS & Android for now). Why CRDTs? Every document is a CRDT data structure. This is very important for conflict resolution. With CRDTs this can happen on the client and everyone can resolve to exactly the same state of the document once all the updates are synchronised. This basically allows to exchange the updates/data via…

Hello HN, Over the last year we've been building ente[1], a privacy-friendly, easy-to-use alternative to Google Photos. We've so far built Android[2][3], iOS[4], web[5] apps that encrypt your files and back them up in the background. You can access these across your devices, and share them with other ente users, end-to-end encrypted. You can also use our electron app[6] to maintain a local copy of your backed up files. We've built a fault-tolerant data replication layer that replicates your data to two different storage providers in the EU. We will be providing additional replicas as an…

NoteCoveMay 2026 · notecove.io · ▲82I built NoteCove because I wanted notes and tasks that sync across devices without the data going to a SaaS company. The sync works through files on your own iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox — there's no NoteCove server in the sync path. The tricky part was making this reliable. I ended up using CRDTs (specifically Yjs) for conflict resolution, which handles the case where you edit the same note on your phone offline and your laptop offline — both edits merge without losing either. It has a full task management system alongside notes: custom states, kanban boards, parent/child…
Unforget, the note-taking app I always wanted: offline first, encrypted2024 · unforget.computing-den.com · ▲274Hi HN! I created Unforget out of years of frustration with Google Keep and the lack of alternative that met all my needs. I hope you find it useful too! Features include: - import from Google Keep - offline first including search - sync when online - own your data and fully encrypted - Desktop, mobile, web - lightweight, progressive web app without Electron.js - markdown support - programmable with public APIs - open source [1] While I still use org mode for long-form notes with lots of code, Unforget has become my go-to for quickly jotting down ideas and to-do lists after migrating the…
